Instructions say to "solder wires into the cups". It's really small - kind of wondering exactly how to do that...........

That is a cool tool you linked. It would be real handy tying fishing flys as well.

Just what Randy said, I use this technique just about every day. In addition to that, this tool;

is also vital in holding your work pieces for you.

Patrick, if you are not familiar with soldering connectors, Google TINNING WIRE. Watch a you tube video of tinning a stripped wire. It will help. You tin the connector cups and the stripped wire separately than you heat the cup again and slip the tinned stripped wire into the hot tinned cup pull the solder iron away and you should have a good connection. Tinning is; heating wire or connector with solder iron, touching the hot wire with solder, this will cote the wire or connector with solder. A strong pair of glasses comes in handy with such small connectors. I hope this is what you are asking.
